Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a new law on Saturday that orders state regulators to ban the sale of new gas-powered equipment using small off-road engines (25 gross horsepower or less), a broad category that includes generators, lawn equipment, pressure washers, chainsaws, weed trimmers, and golf carts.

The Los Angeles Times reports the new law requires all new small-motor equipment primarily used for landscaping to be zero-emission, which means they must be essentially battery-operated or plug-in.

The California Air Resources Board has already started working on a rule to do this – a lengthy process scheduled to conclude early next year. But the new law removes any doubt, ordering the agency to apply the new rule by Jan. 1, 2024, or as soon as regulators determine is "feasible," whichever date is later.

This excerpt is dated mid-October.
